Hey guys,i finally got time to sit down at the computer and fill you in on the full story.First i'd like to say thanks to krash for offering to help with pictures.I spent a couple of hours trying to figure out how to get my windows vista to resize them,only to find out that vista wont do that.Photobucket was easy in comparison.Thanks also to jlangholzj for setting up the link to photobucket as i dont know how to do that either.When im done typing this,i'll upload the rest of the pics that i have.
I first saw this car on the 30th of July,when i was doing a service call.I talked with the owner and told her that i would come back the following day ,when i had more time.On the 31st i took some pictures and got the door tag info.I also told her that i would line up a trailer for the early part of the following week.On Monday the 3rd i was out of town and didnt get a chance to talk to her but the following day she left me a message saying that they would be home. I went over and pumped up the tires,(3 actually held air),paid her and got a bill of sale.On wednesday the 5th i went over with a buddy of mine,swapped out the front left tire with one of the studded snows that the owner gave me,rolled the car back into the driveway,checked the brakes ,then coasted down the driveway to the cul de sac,where i had a rollback truck pick it up and take it to my place.
The only thing i've done so far is remove the gas tank, because what was in there(about a gallon and a half) was so nasty that i knew that i needed to get rid of it.After getting the tank out,i found that it is oxydized and rusted,and i'll probably just replace it if i can find a website that sells classic parts. I also gave her a much needed bath,removed a couple of pine sap drips and used some rubbing compound on the hood and roof.The paint is as nice as it looks in the photos and the interior looks like it was never used.
